g Mtxift. 189SI ailtj- X. M. MPBDOCK, EaUtar. The Inter Ocean's Amende Honorable. The esteemed Inter Ocean seems to favor going forward backwards. In lta review of the Eagle's declaration of "war On England over the Canuck situation. To hesitate Is to leave Chicago a border city; to successfully maintain tiie Eagle's point Is to make the Columbian city the geograph ical plyot pt the United States, as that city is now the tenter of the continent Our esteemed contemporary Ehould stand pat on the proposition of annexation and ex ipanslon, or turn tall. Opportunity is knocking her knuckles '-toff on all of the back and front gates and side entrances 'of thift country of ours, and opportunity, as the poets and philosophers all assure us, never knocks but once at the 'door of either a nation or an Individual, In a lifetime. If the lake fronts, from Buffalo to Duluth, are content to con Itinue to expose their commercial epidermis to the insist ency of that British gadfly, the Eagle, which has only the 'interests of the remote Interior to conserve, might, on the Bcore of purely material considerations, desist from further fBcreamlng". But from Portland, Maine, to Manila, Iiuzon, Us too long a stretch for the width, of the situation, which la only from Porto Hlco to "Chicago, especially when Yrianl 'iest destiny is so persistently pointing out the North Pole, s the stable boundary fixed by the Infinite as the limit of tour future frontier. The Canuck, who Infests our present borders from the mouth of the St Lawrence to Puget Sound, In being threatened with French and Indian degener ation, to 6ay nothing of his crossings of Scandinavian and Dutch bloods, is none the less the pliant tool of an envious tfoe, a slave to the tyrannical dogma of the "divine right" 'fend to help ourselves by taking up "the white man's bur Sen," In bis behalf, Is all the more Incumbent As for the rest of our esteemed contemporary's observa ilons and reflections, In too greatly flattering the Eagle's prowess as a tall-twister, It Is wrong in attributing occult designs Involving a sanguinary conflict with the mother tountry to any remissness In courtesy upon the part of the management of the Canadian Pacific railway. However, the voicing of its prophetic vision as to the present glorious outlook for Kansas, and the brilliant future which awaits 'Wichita as the half-way entrepot between Chicago and Gal veston, the esteemed makes most ample amends.

Must Bs a Lie Out Somewhere. "Wichita has not lost in the number of Its Inhabitants fcvlthln the past year, but has made a very substantial gain. One hardly knows what to believe these times, upon the one hand, and what to eschew and discredit upon the other. lAffldavits do not seem to strengthen the average state ment The" certificate of a Jurat backed by a solemn oath, duly sealed, with a revenue stamp attached, may be as un varnished a verity as an unsubstantiated declaration from n questionable source, and then, again, If may not be. From a tabulated statement made up' from the sworn returns of the county assessors, by the state board of agriculture, "Wichita is shown to have lost 719 Inhabitants in a year. As less than half that number have died, and as nobody has absconded or otherwise been missed, it would seem that truth won't keep very long in this climate. "We leave it to others to determine where the He comes In, and in what rut we will take occasion to observe that Wichita hasn't less Inhabitants this year than last, and there Is not ten observant people of all her inhabitants who will not say the same thing. Besides all the new homes "which have been built and are now occupied, and all the boom-time addition houses which have been moved into the city proper uhd filled, taken together with the fact that few houses in the suburbs or elsewhere can be found empty, where one and two years 550 there were scores of them, and It would be hard to show where the loss of Inhabitants comes In. The postofflce free delivery has Increased In a marked way, as have the revenues; the are more names In the city dlrctory; there are more people on the streets, seemingly; the tenant houses and blocks are just as full, and altogether the tabu lated statement of the state board of agriculture seems to have been doctored for attenuation, in Wichita's case at least But however that may be, Wichita has not fewer Inhabitants by 719 than she had last year. It is certain that the city has two or three thousand more people than it had two years ago, at least a thousand of whom must have been added within the year last past the sworn returns and the tabulated statement of the state board of agriculture to the contrary notwithstanding. The Great Value of India Rubber. A party of American explorers are lost In the wilds of South America, where they went some months ago in search of new rubber forests. Rubber more and more enters into modern utilities, and no substitute has been found for it Few persons have an adequate Idea of the extent of the production of what Is commonly known as India rubber or the value of the output of the Brazilian market According to advices which have recently come to the department of state, a single vessel not long ago left Para with a cargo consigned to British and American ports valued at $2,210,000 in United States gold. This cargo consisted of 1,167 tons of rubber and Is described as being the largest which ever left Tara. Tlje exportation of .rubber from the country last year reached J5S.40O.0O0. It is stated that the production and shipment of this useful substance from Brazil is on the increase. The figures show for Para alone an increase In the entries for last year over those for the preceding yp&r from 15.17C tons to 22.237 tons. New, fine Para rubber ranged In price In New Tork from S2 to S3 cents per pound, while six years prior to thst It was worth a trifle under 70 cents a pound. The Increase In consumption is due to demands in cident to rapidly advancing Industrial arts which can be fulfilled by no other substance so well as by rubber. For the dozen or more different varieties and qualities of rub ber produced the controlling markets are Great Britain and the United States. A Chance for Immigrants. Rome was cultured and Italy was cultivated before the birth of the Christian era, yet Italy Is not wholly occupied today. While millions of Italians have left the country and sought homes In other lands, yet there are Immense areas of uncultivated land in Italy whleh might be reclaimed. The Gentleman's Magazine says that according to a calcu lation made in the Bollettlno di Notizie Agrarle a few weeks ago, there are at present no less than 4,500,000 hec tares, or about one-sixth of the entire kingdom of Itily, In an uncultivated condition. Even within a day's warlk of the walls of Rome there Is land that might be reclaimed, and the outskirts of the "Eternal City remind one, for desolation and solitude, of that vast and neglected plain which stretches up to the ramparts of Constantinople. Italy may therefore look at home before she spends her hardly raised revenues in "plowing the sands" of Africa or aiding in the partition of China- Certainly the colonizing genius of the ancient Romans has not descended upon the jnodern Italians; and, even the ancient Romans, like the modern Italians, allowed their nraatry to fee atTrfcaltiar ally ruined by that system of vast estates which Pliny th iSlder, and after him many contemporary Jouraatlf t, de clared to be the curse of the land. rirst Maybrick Is Doomed. The American woman, Mrs. Maybrick, Is doomed to die In a British dungeon. There is no. longer any hope for the poor woman. Presidents and diplomats have plead and millions of Americans petitioned, all to no purpose. There is only one small chance, and that In the death of the Eng- Ji3h queen. Mrs. Maybrick never killed her husband, not withstanding his abuslveness. He was addicted to opium and overdosed In a fit of mortification. His wife was sent to prison on evidence of a purely circumstantial character. She Is kept in prison on her own confession, not of murder, with wWch she was charged and for which she was con victed, but for the offense., of Incontinence. Mrs. Maybrick confessed this fault freely and Queen Victoria has never been known to forgive a worn nof r unfaithfulness to her marriage vows. Her majesty refuses to receive at court any man or woman who has been divorced fer transgres sion of the moral law. Were it not for the queen's implaca bility it Is bellevednhat Mrs. Maybrick would regain her freedom. She was convicted for murder, and It seems hard that she should be compelled to spend her life In prison for incont&ence. They Do It Out of Pure Cussedness. A writer in the Philadelphia Times who has been study ing the habits and characteristics of the mosquito, arrives at the conclusion that he is a very useful insect "Just why the mosquito bites people Is not yet known. It Is not to furnish it food, for it is an established fact that a mos quito, after gorging itself with human blood, dies within a few hours; whereas, mosquitoes that have never tasted blood have been known to live very comfortably even through the entire winter and into the next season. The adult mosquito does not need food. During its larvae stage it has stored up enough nourishment to last it all its life, and it is a normal state for It to go without for the rest of its existence. All that It needs is moist air, adult mosquitoes being known to pass the winter in damp cellars, living on nothing but the molsttire. The fact that It Is estimated that only one out of ten thousand ever tases human blood also proves that It Is not necessary. Why it persists In torturing mankind, therefore, has not yet been found out, and scien tists can only swear softly with the rest of mankind and make the general statement that the mosquito is born with a vitiated appetite for human gore an appetite that causes the death of the indulger." W HisStcrifeV, In Hard Rows Politically. The Democrats of "Vermont and the Republicans of Flor ida, though widely apart geographically, are much alike In many respects. The Democrats of Vermont have been beaten regularly, and beaten badly, for more than forty years consecutively. They have never carried an election, or come near carrying an election, in the Green Mountain state, but none the less they retain their buoyancy of spirit and hopefulness of demeanor, and however black the outlook for success may be, they return to the charge biennially and discern, when no one else can, evidences of large Demo cratic gains. The Republicans of Florida ara beaten with the same regularity and with like crushing force every year. Occasionally in a presidential election, 'as in 1892, they run no ticket as It were, letting, the state go by default; but the next year their hopes revive and their spirits strengthen, and they prepare to turn 'the Democrats out of power at Tallahassee. Democratic hopefulness In Vermont is based1 on the fallacy that a good'many Vermont Republicans are moving west; Republican confidence In Florida Is based on the fact that many northern men are making their homes in the Peninsula state. Some are, but not enough to change political conditions in Florida1 much before 2000 The Liberal-Salaried Pedagogue. Speaking of President MacLean-of the University of Ne braska, who has Just been elected to the presidency of the University of Iowa, a Des Moines paper says: "The salary fixed for the new president is $6,000 and $250 traveling ex penses. Illinois pays President Draper $7,000 and furnishes him a house lighted and heated. Wisconsin gives President Adams $7,000, with house heated and lighted. Minnesota gave President Northrup $6,000 twenty years ago, and it was then the highest salary paid in the west It has now be come the lowest among the big schools, and the board of regents raised It to $7,500, because the University of Califor nia made President Northrup an offer of $10,000 to come to Berkeley. President Harper receives $12,000 as president of Chicago University. Iowa and Nebraska have been in the third class, with $5,000 each, but Nebraska now promises to step to the front with a big offer to President MacLean to retain him." In Kansas we do not pay the heads of our state educational Institutions such munificent salaries as above quoted, but none can deny either their competency or success. A Hand Organ Fetches the Heathen. Congo Free State negroes are being Christianized by a hand organ. Captain Becker, a Free State official, thought fully took one with him to his post and, finding that the natives enjoyed the music, and being also desirous that they should marry in Christian fashion, he announced that the organ would be played at every Christian wedding. The re sult was that weddings took place almost daily, and It was discovered that many couples got married more than once In order to procure the music a Heureux, the tyrant of San Domingo, was the worst ruler on the globe. It seems strange that the places of least personal liberty in the world are found on the sam side of the Atlantic with the nations of the greatest per- aujiui uueri. The worst of all Americans Is he who flunks during a critical time. It is easy enough to be patriotic when every thing is coming the nation's way. -The worst Hunker is Senator Burrows of Michigan. He ought to know better.

Senator Burrows of Michigan thinks that the Filipino war will hurt the Republican party. The destiny of the nation is to grow, and the Republican party will stay on the side of growth or get left

The governor of Georgia has appealed to the people of his state to stop the lynching habit Under the Jury system it will net, for Juries will not convict neighbors when they ore in sympathy with them.

There can be no question that If McKlnley bad ordered all troops home from the colonies six months ago the party of expansion in the United States today would be the Dem ocratic party. j- The death of Kate Chase Sprague proves that scandal never dies. Roscoe Conkllng was co-respondent in her case; and the penalty she paid was poverty- The clergy of the Church of England have been advised to quit carrying Incense In the churches. And thus an other great question is settled. The government Is making Hampton. Virginia, germ tight Only the strictest quarantine will save the country from an awful scourge. It will do Alger no good to explain that he has not been guilty of anything. He offended the New Tork papers. That killed him. We must pay another price for the freeing of Caba yellow fever. And little the Cubans hank us. a The Filipinos have been licked again. In this respect the American troops keep up their lick. The way to stop lynchlngs m the utk is to stop rape, and that is the only way. tast.eC JJy. in the rtniiaa,f a fasfc iooafefe boardtec be aatlitotaaaa; irt of 38. a I A few amsats l&tar the swaag open and her brother, -a yoaac- artist ea tered. CH greeted her -pleas&atly as fee prepared to refresh aJeaseJC, "Well, Trlx, how have yea been to day?" "O. as uncon&ortable as ever," she re plied peevishly. 'Wever mind, dear; perhaps we wfll have more money another summer." 'Always patience," she replied crossly. "It's well enough for people to talk when they have money, but then, what's the use fussing; 1 never have had anything since we came to New York." "My dear Trlx. I think you are a little unkind. Ton know I have tried to give you everything I could possibly afford. O, Trlx, you mustn't talk so." "Forgive me, Chauncey. I will try to do without it" "That's the girl," and he smoothed the pretty hair -from the -white forehead and sighed. He wished to see his sister as well dressed as other girls, but circum stances forbade; his pictures did not sell, and he felt the tune was fast approach ing when they would have to leave their pleasant rooms and go to -some other part of the city. One evening, about three months later, Chauncey Selford came home looking 111. Trlx was there, but she did not notice her brother's careworn face, because she was engaged In making a dress to be worn a week later at the grand ball given by Mrs. Charles Carlton, sister of Lord Percy Carlton. As he entered the room Trlx looked up. "Here Is something Mrs. Bradbury's footman gave me. I have not opened It yet." He tossed it over to her as he Bcoke. "O, Ohauncey, an invitation to Gussie Bradbury's reception a week from today. Tou will go," she added, looking up Into his face. "I cannot," he replied. But if you really wish to go," as her face fell, "I can hire a carriage." "What shall I wear?" she said a mo ment later. "Why, the dress you are making." "I can't wear that; it's for the balL" "Then you can stay at home," he re plied, as he left the room. "What can bo the matter with him," She thought "Why, tie never spoke a cross word to me before. O, if I could marry Bome rich old man, then Chauncey would have time and money to study art." (Meanwhile Chauncey had gone to his little studio and after shutting the door threw himself into the armchair and burled his face in his hands. That night he toad meant to tell Bea trix that they would have to leave their rooms and go where- they could live cheaper. Then the invitation to the re ception. He could not go and could not well let her go. "It is of no use to fight against pov erty," he said, bitterly. "We will always be poor, and we might avwalMlve as our means will allow, without this preten sion." Just then a knock at the door and a young lady entered. t "Miss Fairfax," he exclaimed with sur prise. "Ah! I have taken you quite unawares, have I not?" with a sweet smile on her face. "But you wfll certainly pardon that when i tell you that I bring you work. Mrs. Carlton wishes these pic tures," and she handed htm a list' "That will help you, will it notr "Tou are my good angelwDdythe. If I could only have a chance to" study art I could make a living." "It Is too bad, Chauncey, but-if" yea would let me heTp." 'Wo, Bdythe, T must fight my ojrajbat Ue3 without help." "Wop," after a few moments' silence, "1 must go. How Is (Beatrix?" 'Pretty well," hi said with a Mgh. iMIU seems un 'naa u mw she left him. Chauncey Selford had given up every thing for his sister. She held the first place In his heart (His lov,e for Edytha Fairfax was great, but hf had put all thoughts of her he loved away: He was poor and likely to remain poor all his life. Beatrix went to the reception. Lord Percy Carlton she first mot there, who, being much Interested in her history, after a few months of marked attention, married her. They went Immediately abroad. Bea trix said before she went that upon their return Chauncey could go abroad to study art Two years had flown and not a line had she written him. At length, poor and careworn, -ho took a room in the alums of the city. What little sketches he mado for a paper barely kept him alive. "Edythe had tried faithfully to find him, but had failed. One day as she was passing through the slums on an errand of charity, she happened to glance up at a window and saw Chauncey Selford. She started back as 'if struck by a thunderbolt "He in this place of all others, the proud Chauncey come to this," she said. She knocked at the door. An old woman opened It. lEdythe asked to see Mr. Sel ford. After much 'bantering with the woman she gained admittance. Chauncey still sat at the open window. He did not move as she approached him. She touched his hand, but sprang back, as she felt the cold touch of his hand as it came in contact with hers. Beatrix's picture was in the other hand. Ho left this world with the one thought that had always been in his life, that was his sister, for whom he had sacrificed all. Boston Post Royal Xeaasee ta Freaeh Bepsfelie With the final crisis In the Dreyfus case near at hand, it is predicted that the French royalists will make another and a serious attempt to overthrow the republic. With the idea of helping the cause of the Napoleonic pretender an al leged message of good wishes from the Czar was given out, though its authen ticity has since been denied. There was much, however, in the circumstances to make the story plausible. Prince Louis Napoleon, in whoe favor his elder brother. Victor, some time ago resigned his claims to the French. throne. Is a great favorite at the Russian court. Prince Louis was educated for service in the French army, but left the country when his father was banished. After a short service in the array of Italy he en tered the service of the Czar, being rap idly promoted to the post of colonel in the Czarina's Lancers. Some time ago It was predicted that the young prince would enter France and boldly demand the privilege of serving in the French army. If only as a private soldier. The time for striking the blow has not arrived, however, and the prince is still waiting the signal from bis adherents In Paris.

This, of course, is another ribbing story. It is said that the broncho will take after the disposition of his master, that they are naturally not vicious, and when one Is, tho devU is in the rider, not the horse.

Hardesty Herald: A girl baby was born to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Caple, of Caple, last Saturday night "When informed of the event, Charley rolled a cigarette and waited several moments before Informing the doctor that he had wanted a boy. The: other day Major "Woodson stationed an Indian named 'Punfpkln-vine-on-the-Pumphandle" at the end of the Darling ton bridge with instructions to make everybody cross it In a walk.

Along tho Kansai Nile, It Is about time the threshing machine engines in Kansas began to blow up. Governor Stanley has been Invited to address the G. A. R. reunion at Cherry vale on August 21. Not a single paper in Kansas fcad an unkind thing to say of IngersoU In mak ing mention of his death. An Iola man who runs a restaurant emits this: "It is better to go to bed hungry than to wake up in debt" The Joe Hooker post of the G. A. It at Hutchinson, has come out In resolu tions endorsing Henry Clay Evans. The Olulvanes have paid the Merrlam Judgment of J3.000 asalnst the Topeka Capital. The paper is now nearly free of debt Captain Rowan, Atchison's hero. Just prior to his depasture to Manila roasted Shatter for his management of his cam paign. The Nebraska boys have reached this country and next week they will be at home calling the Kansas boys "Funston's Advertisers." Labor Commissioner Johnson says that laborers ore better employed in Kansas than ever before and if a man is idle now it Is from choice. The admirable thing about Cy Leland is that no matter how hard he is pressed or how fiercely threatened, he is never guilty of hysterics. At Newton a vote is in progress for a young woman to eerve as queen in a flower parade. Miss Gertrude Laucke leads at present with 25 votes. Most of tho Kansas boys in the Philip pines In writing home and designating what they would like to eat vote ahnost unanimously in favor of pan cakes. The average Kansas Populist politician in Kansas has a quiet opinion that a good corn crop along about 1737 would have prevented the French revolution. A woman at Cbaaute, In outlining a picnic, said: "We'll want a chaperon along." "What for7" asked one of the girls. "To turn the ice cream freezer." O. W. Jirtlan of Wellington, a PopulJat has quit his party. He says the Populists have alHed themselves with tbe Demo crats and allowed themselves to swallow flag-furling declarations. Charley Scott cays that the same papers which were bounding oXcKlnley because he didn't dismiss Alger are now declaring that Alger was unjustly driven out of tb cabinet for alleged blunders that were reaHy the president's. The Topeka Capital has a strong edi torial against the boas in pontics, says the Lawrence Journal. Ye, the Capital's estimated difference between the political bois and the political leader li the differ ence between the editor of the Capital and Cy Leland. Boss and leader are syn onymous for alt practical purposes. Captain Clarke of the Twentieth Kan sas, before the war began in the Philip pines was very religions and made his company tired by his piety. As soon as the fighting began he was the fiercest man asscng theaa and when they aent is a rattling volley woald yell: "Good! Give It to 'em again Itc tbe same spot."

New Worcester, Mass., July 31. Dr. Thomas C. Mcndenhall, president of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, made the survey of Alaska on which the boun dary line, now a subject of dispute, be tween the United States and the Canadi an government, was ilxed by that nation. Breaking of the controversy Dr. Mcnden hall said: "The actual value of tho land of which Great Britain through the Ca nadian government desires to possess Itself is insignificant compared with the Importance of the seaport privileges that country would secure if Its claims Tere granted. The greatest benefit which Great Britain expects to derive from a settlement of tho boundary question In iher favor Is to acquire an open seacoast for her great northwest territories and to weaken us by breaking our exclusive jurisdiction north of 51 degrees. With one or more seaports leading out to the Pa cific ocean, Great Britain would come ac tively Into competition with American Ehlpplng Interests, to the great disadvan. tago of tho latter, which are now pre eminent In the territory. Over the water ways and the passes embraced In the dis puted territory an immense omnunt of emigration and supplies for the Canadian Northwest Territory now goes through American hands. Tho right of complete jurisdiction over this coast, exercised so Icng by Russia without protest from Great Britain, became ours by purchase In 1S67, and for many years after that Great Britain acquiesced in our exercise of authority over the territory as Russia exercised it It was not until 1SS7 that Ihe Canadian government issued an of ficial map showing that It claimed its boundary line from the outer edge of the Islands, instead of running parallel to the toast lino reckoned from the coast of the mainland. To accede to Canada's claim ould be to give her all of value that was purchased from Rubsla In Southeastern Alaska." Crtarrhnl Depronian In Snramer, Senator W. N. Roach, from Larlmorc. North Dakota, writes: "I am glad to testify that Pc-ru-na has greatly helped me in strength, vigor and appetite." For tho nervous depression of spring and summer, Pe-ru-na will be found to be of great benefit "Summer Catarrh," by Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Q.. sent free.

Now York, Aug. 1 The World says: "Not 3Ir. Astor," said tha Prince of Wales, drawing his pencil through the nameof tha man of many millions when it appeared In the list of guests invited to meet nim at a grand house party in Scotland a week or two ago. "Not Mr. Astor, He bores me." And that Is the climax of WllJIam Wal dorf Astor's years of manoeuvring to get Into the higher social circles of England. Even his roundabout denunciation of his country, even the eulogy of his ancestors, which he printed in his own Pall Mall Gazette and in which he claimed descent from the noble Spanish of Ast&rage not even these, nor above -all, the millions which came to him from Investments In the country which he has renounced, have won him the prize lor which he he yearn ed with all the intensity of his soul. "Ho bores rae,'That is reported on high authority to bo the verdict of tha Prince of Wales. And the Prince of Wales is the supreme arbiter of all things social In England. Whit bores the Prince bores society. Mr. Astor's social career in Eng land Is in danger. At the dinner table of Belgravia and (Mayfair the story is goning the rounds. And Mr." Astor himself went away from London long before tho season In which he hoped to shine so conspicuously was over. It was througn the innocent efforts of the Duchess of Buccleuch to push Mr. Astor's fortunes that the disaster came upon him. The Ductess of Buccleuch has long been the mllllonalr's social sponsor. Not because she was fond of Mr. Astor, nor, indeed fond of the group of Ameri cans of whom he Is a type in London. In fact tho hostility of the Duchess to Americans has long ibeen notorious. Shs was formerly the leader of the group of grand ladies who started the movements to exclude Americans (from the Inner cir cle of the great (London social world. Her Influence in this particular world was potent. She 13 one of the grandest ladles In all England, and enjoyes pre cedence over all that are not of rojal rank toy reason of the high office she holds at court that of Grand Mistress of the Houshold and of the Robes to Her Majesty the Queen. So It happened that all the world won dered when the mighty Duches3 of Buc cleuch suddenly made a complete revolu tion in her attitude toward Americans. From toeing the leader of tho anti-American liofots she became the sponsor -and social promoter of one of tho rlchesft Americans that had: ever llngerd lovingly at th threshold of London society. The reason of tha Duchess sudden change of heart was not long In toeing brought to HgbtA The IDuchess has a brotherLord Frederick Hamilton. Mr. Astor appeared upon the scene with his Pall Mall Magazine, (and iwas a verl tablo boom to the Duchess of Buccleuch when he mado Lord Frederick Hamilton editor of the Pall "Mall at an aibsurdly high salary. If there was a business arrangement of which his move was a part It is but Jus tice to tho Duchess of Buccleuch to pay that she conscientiously carried out her part of the compact. i Mr. Astor's social star began to shine. Both he and his daughter were "taken up" generally. The Duchess even presid ed over every one of the magnificent en tertainments iwhich Mr. Astor gave. On tho other hand tooth Mr. Astor and his .daughter were sure to be found at all the social functions given toy tfia Duchess of Buccleuch. Now on various of hese occasions Mr. Asor had th felicity to be presented to tho Q?rince of Wales. Amiable and easy-going as the Prince is, the one thing that he cannot endure Is being bored. He per petually wishes to hear something new; In which he is not unlike other people. But as a Prince he can mako his wishes law. All London knows this and all Lonlon has Hughed more than once, een before this List episode, at the alrolt manoeuvres by which his royal highness has avoided being left exposed to the conversation of 'Mr. Astor, or of any one else whom he has heard sufficiently often. So nobody was In the least surprised to know that the Prince had at la3t de finitely and distinctly "turned Mr. Astor down." It Is whispered that throughout the pre sent season the decendent of the house of Astorga has endeavored to commit tho Prince to being the stnr gues: at Cliveden on the Thames, or, failing that, to visit tho Astor house In town. But to all hints the Prince turned a doaf ear. He is kindly In temperament and obliging to the last degree, but his-1 time Is much occupied, he has seen and heard many men an6 things and Is as easily bored by tho familiar as he is eager for the novel. He simply could not and would not agree to be Mr. Astor's guest of honor, with all that that Implied of exposure to the Astorlan conversational sifts. And now It is the common talk of Lon don"thnt he has put the climax on it 11 and definitely closed the Astor chapter for once and for all. It happened, accord ing to the stories current, in this way: When it was announced recently that the Prince of Wales would be obliged to proceed to Edinburgh In order to preside at some public ceremony there, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch. as the princi ple persons of the district, asked the fu ture king of England to honor them by staying at their Palace of Dalkeith dur ing his sojourn in the north. In accordance with the usual custom on the occasion of such visits of royalty, the Djjchess drew up for the inspection of her distinguished guest a list of the persons whom sho had asked to help in the entertainment of the heir apparent. The list comprised the Duke at Mont rose, Abcrcorn and Athole: the lit r Is of Rosabery, of Stair, of Grey and of Levea; tho Marquis of Lothian, Lord Balfour and the countess of Hopetoun, wife of the 1 Lord Chamberlain. The Duchess had like- Skin-Tortured Babies eY FOR CUTICURA. Instant relief and sleep, in a hot bath wi& CcticcbA Soap and a single anointing with ConcuB A. Ointment.

Sea4f.rMp.book.frt. wise, in furtherance of her sponsorship of Mr. Astor, added the names of William Waldorf and Miss Astor to the list. Tills submission of the names of the guest- to be -present, either at the ball, a dinner or a house party, to a royal per sonage who Is Invited Is the Inevitable custom In the old world. Usually the dis tinguished person make s no alteration. As a rule he or she merely writes to the hostess that the composition of the party is admirable. Occasionally the royal per sonage will add names of one or two more persons, but very rarely indeed will he erase any name from the list submitt ed to him, thereby expressing his disin clination to meet the person In question. The object of this arrangement, of course, is to avoid meetings with the royal personage iwhich might be In them selves personally disagreeable, or which might give rise to undesirable political In fluences. It is taken for granted that no matter how great may be the knowledge of the world possessed by the hostess, she cannot always be sufficiently In the political secrets of the day to know whe ther it is Judicious (for the distinguished guest to meet this or that particular per son whoslf stay under the same roof with royalty might give rise to misinterpreta tion. The fact that it Is almost solely upon political grounds that the royal guest ever bars a person whose name Is In the list submitted to him, makes the snub report ed to have been given to Mr. Aster the more cutting. "When the list of guests whom the Duch ess of Buccleuch had Invited was sub mitted to the Prince of Wales, His Royal Highness merely glanced carelessly over them in his easy amiable manner and was about to pass tham as being persons whom ho would be" charmed to meet, when he happened to notice toward the enc1 of the list the name of William Wal dorf Astor. In an instant as the London story has it, tho royal blue pencil slashed through the name and obliterated it "Not Mr. Astor," Hl3 Royal Highness is reported to have said decisively. "Mr. Astor bores me." There was no social objection to Mr. Astor and politically he did no threaten any complications. It was not because ho was or has been an American, because ho is a man without any country. And besides, the Prince of Wales has too often shown' his high consideration of Ameri cans by marked attention 'to them. He has excluded, according to the Lon don version of the affair, on the broad, general human principle that he was a bore to the Prince of Wales. Thata was all. That represents the sum total of the so cial achievements Q Astor has won by renouncing his country and countrymen by the purchase of princely Cliveden, by millions of money lavished in ostentatious entertainments, and by persistent social campaigning backed by unlimited money. When the list with the name of Astor erased by the royal hand was Teturned to her there was nothing left for tho un fortunate Duchess of Buccleuch to do save take upon hferself the disagreeable task of noticing Mr. Astor of the calamity which had befallen, and of recaling her Invitation. Personally sho assured him she would be delighted to welcome him but the Prince did not feel equal to It, and had especially (objected. That is the story as it is now being told in London clubland. Thero is no record of Mr. Astor's ex pressions of oplnoln on the subject, and it is even doubtful If he gave vent to any such expressions. The only thing known about the effect of the snub upon him is that immediately after receiving it ho suddenly departed from London In the midst of the season, and soon issued his gratuitous announcement with regard to his own distribution of invitations to en tertainments at his various houses. That the Prince bf Wales is fond of many of tho Americans he has met is well known. The reason he is fond of them is .because he ha3 usually found them bright, witty and sparkling, and he appre ciates these qualities. There Is no one fonder of humor than the Prince, and with him as with many others In tho English society, a dull American Is an anomaly. But Mr. Astor Is always serious In hl3 talk; sometimes even ponderous. It Is said also that he has lost rather than gained favor In London by his renunciation of his country. There Is In Great Britain now a genuine and hearty admiration for America, coup led with a rare pride which has made in the minds of many the achievements of the great Republic in a way the achieve ments of tho English people. Just at the time when this sentiment was strongest in England Mr. Astor published over his own name a tirade against his country, and then scurried over to New York to swear off the taxes on the property from which his princely revenue Is derived. There was one thing lacking to complete this mazier stroke, and that was to pub lish over his own name an account of his ancestral glories from the house of Astor ga to the great man and good American who traded for furs with the American In dians, and thrreby laid the foundations of a great fortune. Enclish society only cmllcd at Mr. A tora's rumored pretentions to the hand of the Princess Ictoria of Wales, but the unwisdom of his Astorga ancestry article put the climax to his performances. After that i: was admitted that he was a doubt ful propositions, and the recent snub which, so the story has It was glzen him by the Prince of Wales has only fixed an official seal upon the general verdict There is no manner of doubt that society l will take its cue from the Prince of Wales In tha -9 rtt nr I.a. n I. tM l tiractleallr all ntw f m, U. I pracucajiy au otner matters, of like na- iure. ana inai me social star or ucn As-1 torga is doomed to wane with startling rapidity. There are many stories told th Prince of Wales' horror for a social hote. and some of them are bow being revaap ed. The episode at Bertie Mitford Is fre quently recalled. SHtforcl -waa a singular, ly handsome man and a clever ene as well He had 'bees In tfce diplomatic service and was stationed In Japan at a moment when little was known about that coun try and people,1 and when all the Quaiat ness and odlty of both had its chanm vl novelty for people in England. The Prince was greatly Interested In fMltford's stories, and for a season the handsome diplomat was his highness chief favorite and fiurlshel accordingly in Lon don society. But suddenly the prince be came conscious of thes fact that MItford could for the time talk of nothing but Japan, and both MItford and Japan eooa became a terror from -which the Prince would incontinently flee. At last His High ness went the extreme length of denounc ing MItford publicly as "that dreadful bore.' And that was the social end of poor Bertie for the time. And there have been, too, other episodes about persons at va'rlous houses where the Prince was a guest. Sometimes a host or hostess has declined to invite persons whose names were added to the list by the Prince. The twomost notable Inci dents of this kind were the refusal of the Duchess of Portland to Invite the Coun tess of Warwick to Welbeck for the Don. caster race week and It was her failure to comply with the request of the heir apparent that led him to write to cancel hl3 acceptance of the invitation to Wel "beck Abbey and to go instead to Tranby Croft where Mrs. Wilson expressed her readiness to receive the Countess of War wick In deference to the Princes' wishes and where the unfortunate baccarat scan dal then took place. On another occasion the Hungarian mag nate, Count Tassilo Festetics, declined to receive under his roof at Tolna, Baron (HIrsch whom the Prince of Wales desir ed to bring in his train. In fact the Count Intimated to the Prince that sooner than afford hospitality to the celebrated finan cier he would prefer to forgo the honor of the royal visit, and in order that there might be no misunderstanding about the matter he sent an official communication to the English and Austrian papers on the subject.
